From the following website (visit link) we learn:
On the right hand-post are depicted in relief "The Apostles", "The Descent into Hell" and "David". On the left hand-post are represented "the Months of the Year". The two fillet-architrave presents on the upper part "Jesus between the Virgin and the Baptist, Angels and Evangelists". On the inferior part there is "The History of the Baptist". Above the architrave opens a lunette, that in its centre depicts a copy of the Madonna of Giovanni Pisano. The original of this Madonna of the great master is in the Museum of the "Opera del Duomo". In the sculptured under-arch of the lunette there are shown "The Agnus Dei" and "The 24 Seniors". Also the other portal that faces the walls of the "Churchyard" is magnificently decorated. In the architrave there is a sculpture with "the Annunciation and Saints".
